the crews of both ships to meet teach

exercises relieved the monotony which
surrounded them. During the whole
of that dreary winter the only other liv
ing animals seen were the white foxes.
These were not allowed to be shot, but
as many were taken nlivc as could

to show the intensity of tte cold, it may
be stated that the poor little animals,
in endeavoring to escape, often attempt

were killed from motives of humanity.
The foxes were facetiously denominat

degrees below zero ; but the Sylvester
stove apparatus always kept the 1
decks at a temperature of between lif-
tt-fivc and sixty degrees. The crews,
during the winter, were also employed
in maxing tools and portable apparatus
for traveling in the spring, and some
portics were employed in laying flow.., pmi<J ,
The real truth on this subject, Dumas
has given in a Calabrian story. A
body of soldiers had pursued a band of
mountain robbers, in Calabria, and
hemmed them in so effectually that,
villi all the passes guarded, escape
seemed impossible. From this dilcm-

not already given, the non-slavebold-

us to the point where we are to test the
